I am a recent graduate from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, specializing in Ecology and Evolution. My academic journey has been deeply rooted in understanding marine biology, with extensive hands-on research experience in studying social behavior and group dynamics in Corydoras catfish under Dr. Riva Riley. This work has honed my skills in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication, culminating in a first-author peer-reviewed manuscript currently under review. Additionally, my internship as a Scientific Communications Intern at HOPPR allowed me to refine my ability to translate complex scientific concepts into accessible content.
